I was playing at Cloudbet tonight and had question that since we can't see wheel. Is it possible it is balanced or stable to make the ball land in one place or area ?
Physical roulette wheel can be rigged but if it is a licensed live game provider than the risk of it being rigged is close to zero. There is monthly inspection for all the game to ensure fairness for the players but the operator of the roulette could be train to land the ball in some areas.
Not to mention that if you are seeing that the wheel if only in favor of the several areas than the wheel is biased (which is not rigged ) but it happened due to being used several times. Here is a way to check if the wheel is biased or not

They dont need to rig roullette to take your money, the odds are already against you. One thing about dice is at least the house edge is much less.
The odds are always against us but it doesnt mean that the players "will always" to the game
I think they can be rigged but unless you have a way of manually checking the roulette wheel you can't say which site is cheating and which are not.
Even if you do have a chance to manually check the roulette it will be impossible for you or me ( the ordinary people ) to know if the wheel is rigged
When you're playing at Online Casinos there's always a chance that the house might cheat which is why bitcoin gambling is based on a provably fair system but if a site is not offering any ways of checking the rolls then just stay away from it.
The same thing applied to site with provably fair system but it will be harder for them to cheat with the provably fair system. In licensed casinos there will be always a monthly inspection for the game to ensure it is fair for the players but ofcourse the house could just bribe the inspector for that
